Try to take a deep breath ➕ keep this in mind:
It is highly unlikely that the other person is actually talking too fast.
In reality - you probably are just listening too slow.

Talk to HR about this. Claim to have a severe allergy.

My young coworker speaks fast, and it speeds up during meetings. I assume he has anxiety. I was trying to think of a gentle way to tell him to slow down but decided to just leave it alone.

Listen faster. Catch up.
There are brain exercises you can do but unfortunately you're not going to get smarter.

They probably have ADHD. Its ok to ask them to slow down or take a breathe.

Just replay what they said back to yourself in your head, at a speed you're comfortable hearing it. Also, email them.
